A. yes it is normal. it is important to follow the instructions opinion advice and medicines course given by your doctor for the problem . they are safe if given by registered medical practitioner. do not take medicines not prescribed by the doctor . take a follow up in few days if it is not improving for need of treatment modification or any lab / radiological investigations.

A. Pus cells (or leukocytes) in a stool test can indicate inflammation or infection in the digestive tract. The presence of 2 to 4 pus cells in a stool test for a 4-year, 9-month-old child is generally considered within normal limits, especially if there are no other concerning symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, or blood in the stool. Here are a few considerations: 1. **Context of Symptoms:** If your child is otherwise healthy and not showing signs of gastrointestinal distress, the presence of a few pus cells may not be clinically significant. 2. **Recent Illness or Infection:** Pus cells can increase temporarily in response to recent illness, viral infections, or minor gastrointestinal infections that are resolving. 3. **Follow-up with Pediatrician:** It's always a good idea to discuss the stool test results with your pediatrician, who can provide context based on your child's overall health history and symptoms. They can determine if further evaluation or treatment is necessary. 4. **Monitor Symptoms:** If your child develops new symptoms or if existing symptoms worsen, such as persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, or fever, contact your pediatrician promptly for further assessment. In summary, while 2 to 4 pus cells in a stool test may not be alarming on its own, it's important to consider the overall clinical picture and seek medical advice from your pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance.
